birthday

I am so happy with my birthday celebrations this year! And it wasn’t a huge party or anything fancy but was very fun and just what I wanted. I felt I needed to come here and share photos with you and that made wonder, what made it so different or better than other birthdays that I want to share so much? And here is why…

This year I celebrated with intention and I was very aware of it, my intention was to enjoy every moment and save lots of memories in pictures, specially with me in them! It seems very silly and obvious but at the end of the day all these tiny little details are important and help with self love, they help to motivate us every day and to create great memories for the future.

As mothers, we don’t realize how easily we can undermine our own birthdays and soon the celebration takes a back seat to “more important things”. And it happens while you don’t even notice! Over the years, we are more concerned about all the kids’ celebrations than anybody else’s in the family.

And the truth is that we have to feel good and happy as a woman first, so we can be a better mother for our children. Celebrating and loving yourself helps you become a happy and thankful person.

I’m quite philosophical today and lately between selfies and celebrations I realized how all this can help everybody in a positive way. There’s nothing wrong with always indulging yourself, buying your own cake, making time for a hobby without the kids or going to a favorite place and having fun with yourself. In fact it’s completely necessary!

The photos in this post are not what I usually do in my posts, but I love how they show a great time it was plus I was 100% aware that day that I wanted to take many photos without over thinking them. Oh and I also made sure I had a cake and that they sang me happy birthday! Can you believe that last year we didn’t sing?? Although there was party but we forgot a cake and to sing!!!

So go and celebrate yourself now! When was the last time you celebrated yourself?
